Anyone give me some good ideas for food to eat when embarking on a muscle mass building program?
Have been doing it for a month, gained 2 pounds last month but my body fat percentage decreased so I know it is muscle but just wondered if there were any good foods that might help make more gains i.e something really good that works for you.
I take 2 protein shakes a day and eat all the normal stuff like chicken, eggs, nuts, milk, tuna etc but is there any magic wonder food that I don't know about!

From what it sounds like, you have been doing everything correctly in terms of diet. I don't know what type of workouts you are doing, so I can't really comment on that. I guess all I can suggest is that you are using Protein Isolate as it is the easiest for your body to absorb. Just make sure you keep up with the high protein foods and lots of water. Your workouts will determine the rest.

It seems like yo are already doing it. Having a lot of protein in you diet helps to repair muscle tissue when yo are doing a lot of strength training. It will also help to build faster.

No, there isn't a magic wonder food, if there was then all body builders would be on it and you'd know about it. Please be aware that too much protein in your diet can overload the liver and kidneys, leading to a build up of ammonia,which is toxic and making them work harder than they really have to and can lead to kidney damage. Average people need about 0.75 grams per kg of body weight per day, strength training may need between 1.2 to 1.5 grams per kg per day. Increases in muscle mass come from hard work, try pyramid sets, super sets and negative (or eccentric) training, but make sure you rest and don't over train, muscles need time to repair in order to get stronger. Have your protein shake within 30 to 40 minutes of finishing your work out with some good quality carbs, this is the optimum time to assist in muscle repair. Hope this helps and keep up the good work.
